Various cricket boards have shown interest to conduct a Test series between India and Pakistan. The latest addition to the list is Australia after Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) chief executive Stuart Fox made an enquiry to Cricket Australia (CA) about hosting the Test at Melbourne.

However, a source from BCCI has revealed that the apex cricket governing body in the country is not planning to host a Test series between arch-rivals India and Pakistan. "No such plans for India and Pakistan Test series in future or in any country, if someone has such kind of wish keep it to yourself," a BCCI source told ANI.

According to ESPNcricinfo, MCC chief executive Stuart Fox spoke on SEN radio on day 4 of the second Test between Australia and South Africa and said that the club, as well as the Victoria government, had made an inquiry with CA about hosting a neutral Test.

It has been a long time since archrivals India and Pakistan played a Test match. The two countries have not played in the game's longest format since 2007.
